Liverpool stormed past Spurs at Anfield, overturning an early deficit with ease. The win secured a place in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle, giving new boss Arne Slot a shot at his first silverware.
With Liverpool still competing in the FA Cup, Champions League, and leading the Premier League, talk of an unprecedented quadruple has emerged.
Despite their strong position, Van Dijk dismissed the idea outright when CBS pundit Deeney raised it post-match.
Deeney, sensing Van Dijk’s reaction, immediately apologized, saying, “I’m sorry, I have to ask.” He then inquired about maintaining squad focus with so much at stake.
Van Dijk initially scoffed before responding, “The expectation is to win every game, not to think about a quadruple or what could happen in May.
Every match will be difficult until the end of the season. We focus on ourselves, not others.”
Slot, while celebrating reaching Wembley, echoed his captain’s words, emphasizing the importance of staying grounded.
He stated, “It’s nice, but my focus is already on Sunday’s FA Cup match. Playing finals is special, but there’s a lot of football left to be played.”
Liverpool’s ruthless form makes them genuine contenders on all fronts, but inside the camp, the message remains clear—one game at a time.
